Canty FuseviewTM sight glasses have been engineered to meet all of your process and safetyneeds. By fusing glass and metal together to form a one piece construction, we can offer thelargest view area of any glass-metal sight glass, for any given process connection.

Our unique fused glass windows far exceed all conventional tempered glass windows in safety andperformance. CANTY windows can be easily removed for cleaning and do not have to be discardedin the same way as traditional tempered glass windows.

Maximize Your Process View!

A Jet Spray Ring can be usedin combination with any lowviscosity fluid that iscompatible with the process,to generate a high energyvortex action on the surface ofthe sight glass to remove anyfouling, and ensure a clearview at all times.

FuseView™ Sight Glasses

To manufacture a FuseView™ we heat the glass to it’s molten point where it flows to the wall ofthe metal. At that point the glass fuses or bonds to the metal. Then we slowly cool the FuseView™until the glass solidifies. The metal has a higher coefficient of expansion than the glass and themetal compresses on the glass. This squeezing prestresses the glass and puts it under radialcompression. Glass is strong in compression but not under tension or shear. When theFuseView™ is pressurized the glass bends and relieves the compression and avoids tension. Thisis the same as is done with concrete - it is prestressed in compression in order to take bending.

How It Works

FUSEVIEW™ ANSI/DIN

• Ideal for new or retrofit applications.• Available in ANSI/DIN as well as almost any custom size.• The largest viewing area of any fused sight glass on the market today.• Quartz/sapphire shield for caustic service is available as an option

GLASS WETTED FUSEVIEW™

• Designed for glass-lined reactors and vessels where only glass is allowed in contact with the product.• The large diameter fused glass seal allows the gasket to seal on the glass only.• Perfect for glass wetted, C2000 and exotic material reactors.

FUSEVIEW™ HIGH TEMP

• Include dual FuseView™ sight glasses for extreme high temperature applications.• Dual sight glass package insulates the inner FuseView™ sight glass against extreme thermal shock.

The CANTY QuickPort™ is a patented, safe, quick openingclosure for process vessels. Originally used in theoffshore diving industry as a transfer lock ondecompression chambers, QuickPorts™ are used with noadditional interlock by the tank to be pressurized orevacuated. A pressure differential holds the doorsecurely in place and no bolting is involved. Meets ASMEcode section VIII for quick opening closures. Optionalpositive interlocks for hazardous or lethal service areavailable.

The QuickPort™ features a hinged door or window that opens laterally to provide full port access. Theclosure consists of a pad and a retaining flange held apart by spacers, a floating seal ring, and a door inthe form of a FuseViewTM sight glass. As the door is pivoted into the closure, the spring loaded seal ringis deflected back to allow the door to fit tightly between the flanges. The spring force creates an air tightseal on the door face, and allows the tank to be pressurized or evacuated.

Centrifuge Camera ControlA camera light combination system ismounted to the centrifuge using theCANTY angled mounting plate. Thisallows for continuous monitoring fromthe control room, of initial product filling,the various washing and spinning cycles,and product discharge, thereforeenabling greater operator control andefficient identification of any processissues.

CantyVision™ image processing softwarecan be used to measure and detectvarious process parameters on bothbatch and continuous centrifuge systems.

The CantyVision™ Level / Edge Tool, can be configured to track any edge based on the difference in color orgrayscale of 2 materials / components. In a batch centrifuge, this edge is the intersection between the product cake,and the centrifuge base plate. This edge tracking is a direct measurement of the cake thickness.

In a continuous centrifuge, the same Level / EdgeTool can be configured to track the position of thecolor line. This allows the operator to adjust the feedconditions to maintain a constant color line position,and avoid washing above the color line, which isinefficient due to spacing on screen and subsequentliquid carry over.

Cake Thickness • Color Line Control • Wash Optimization

The CantyVision™ Intensity Tool can be used to optimize the productwashing & spinning phases of the centrifuge process.

If there is overstanding liquid present on the surface of the cake duringwashing, it indicates less than optimal filtration, which could be due to toohigh a wash fluid feed rate, or possibly fine particles plugging the filter mesh(indicative of a problem with crystallization).

This overstanding liquid is detected by CantyVision™, as when liquid ispresent, there is a higher than normal intensity reading due to the reflectionof the imaging system’s light source from the surface. In addition todetecting the initial presence of overstanding liquid, a subsequent drop inintensity reading indicates that all wash fluid has eventually been filteredthrough. This can be used to control the introduction of additional washcycles, or to determine when the washing process is complete and theproduct can be discharged.

Filter Dryer OptimizationAvoid Cracked Cake Surface • Optimize Washing Cycles

WWW.JMCANTY.COM USA: 716.625.4227 EUROPE: +353.01.882.9621 ASIA: +66.83.9689548 TA11500-1028 Rev 2 8

The latest in imaging camera technology, combined with high intensity LED lighting, is mounted toyour filter dryer vessel to provide an unrivalled remote view from the control room into your process.

A jet spray ring system is incorporated to ensure the camera view through the fused glass processbarrier is clean at all times, ensuring a continuous clear view of your process.

Using an intensity measurement algorithm, CantyVision™ imaging software can be configured todetermine the exact filtration end point, and send a signal to the DCS via OPC or 4-20mA.

The liquid surface reflects a bright spot created by the vision system’s integral light source. The wetcake surface does not, and so the exact transition point at which the cake emerges is determined.

This avoids the possibility of a cracked cake surface due to drying out of the product, and also allowsfor a more efficient washing regime, which in turn increases throughput by reducing the number ofwashing cycles required.

Spray Dryer MonitoringCANTY Spray Dryer Monitoring Systems are vision based, industrial camera/ light combinations used to view spray nozzle patterns in real time. Thisallows operators to see changes in the profile of the spray pattern, anddetect clogging before it becomes a problem. Operators can easily viewfor product build-up before there is a chance for fire.

This Vision System can be automated by the Canty Vector™ Image Proces-sor to measure the size and shape of the spray pattern profile. Alarms canthen be sent to the control system if nozzles clog or the spray patternchanges.

CANTY provides continuous temperature measurement by using multibandwavelength imaging pyrometry. With the advancement of CCDtechnology, multiband measurement has several advantages over 2 color(2 wavelength) pyrometers:

• Product temperature measurement is integrated over a broader range of wavelengths, which minimizes variance in emmisivity.• VIS (Visible spectrum) between .4 - .7 micron allows a wide range of materials to be measured without recalibration or adjustment to emmisivity.

With the use of VIS, NIR and IR wavelengths, the proper ThermalVision™camera can be selected to provide the most accurate temperaturemeasurement range available. CantyVision™ software provides a SMARTtemperature measurement in addition to molten level tracking, objectposition and temperature measurement specific to an object or process.

Calibration is performed to ASTM standard, providing for accuracy andrepeatability of +/- 1ºC.

• Temperature Control• Visual Verification• One Camera for Multiple Tube Monitoring

• Uniform burn monitoring• Temperature control• Safety - remote viewing

Given that a cracking furnace typically accounts for 30-50% of the total Ethylene plant energy costs, it makessense to invest in optimising its performance and avoiding down time. A CANTY UltraTemp™ camera systemcan be mounted to the Ethylene cracking furnace to not only provide a remote visual of the furnace internals,but also to provide critical process measurements such as tube temperature and tube distortion. Performingtemperature measurement in the visual spectrum limits the effect of surface emmisivity on the accuracy of themeasurement, which is often an issue for other types of temperature measurement devices (eg, IR pyrometer).Tube distortion due to temperature can also be simultaneously monitored, which again can be an early warningsign for a larger tube issue. Multiple tubes within the field of view can be monitored with a single camera, withseparate temperature measurement and positional zones set up on each, and individual control signals sent tothe DCS. Depending on where the camera(s) is mounted within the furnace, a view of the burners can also beprovided. This allows for individual optimisation of each burner, and assists in avoiding issues such as flamedetachment, smoking burners, or flame impingement onto the furnace tubes, which can lead to overheating.

Maintaining the temperature of the platinum gauze is key to running an effective Nitric Acidproduction.  To start the reaction an igniter is used on the catalyst gauze and feeding in the gasmixture, reaction begins to take place at the point of contact between igniter and the gauze. Thisis typically the most dangerous part of the process as an operator has to be at the unit lookingthrough a sight glass.  If something where to go wrong the unit could explode while operatorsare looking in to see if there is a uniform burn.  The CANTY camera is able to monitor theuniformity of the burn and output a 4-20mA or OPC signal to your PLC or DCS for completecontrol.  This eliminates the dangers of someone having to be looking at the gauze duringstartup.  Also, while the process is running the CANTY camera will analyze the temperature of thegauze to make sure it is at the correct limits.  Reaction typically takes place at 600ºC and theCANTY camera can monitor the temperature of the gauze with outputs so the operator can havecomplete and accurate control.

This insertion is made possible by the Fuseview™ sight glass,which allows the optical fused pieces to be located in the center of the fluid stream,which is unique to the CANTY system. The fused glass seal contains no gaskets,ledges, or steps allowing the highest velocity, representative sample and keeps thesensor clean, even in the harshest of environments. The fused glass seal locationkeeps the sensor in line with the process temperature to avoid product build up dueto thermal change. The image processor can be configured with multiple zonesensing on the image of the fluid. The results from the zones can be compared tobase line values for reliability and alarm on detection of a problem.
